Products and Services:
Focus your business on providing quality products or services to your customers but at affordable prices. Some people can pay any amount for your products or services if they are satisfied with their qualities. Product satisfaction is important and to greater extent contributes to customers satisfaction and sales increase.

Respect for your customers is important to marketing success because it boost customers satisfaction. Respect requires you to listen to your customers when they talk and it requires humility from you. Never give your customers the impression that your're better than them. Treat every customers as if they were VIP and they should receive the same treatment you will receive. This is one of the most effective ways to increase your sales.
Assist your customers in product selection:
Guide your customers in products and services selection and this will enable them to get the best of the products and services that will completely match their need and what they will be satisfied with at the end. To accomplish this, you must have clear and adequate understanding of your products or services and also understand the need of your customers. Although, the later is somehow difficult to accomplish because sometimes, the customers don't even know what they want.
It's important to understand that guiding your customers in products or services selection does not mean you should tell them that you know better than them. This may create some feelings of embarrassment that will lead your quality of services to dissatisfaction.
Don't argue with your customers, communicate with them in their friendly language.
Pricing:
Offer the best quality of products and services to your customers at the best affordable price. Pay attention to what your customers say about say your charges for the products and services you offer them.
People would want to go to where they can obtain the same products or services of same quality at lower price or rate. Charging higher than your competitor will create in the mind of the customers that you're cheating them and this will lead to distrust, decrease sales and profit and subsequently, losing your customers to the competitors. Although, this's not always true because of the extra charges you made to make the products or services available for their use.
Don't place your profit above your customers satisfaction. The higher your price, the little your customers would want to pay for. The lower the price, the sales you can make and the more profit.
Products/Services delivery time:
How long do your customers wait before they can get your products or services?
Reduce customers waiting time to the barest minimum but the quality of the services offer should not be reduced.
Different people have their individual interpretation of events, delay in services delivery could be interpreted in different ways by different people. In whichever way, avoid negative comments or statements from your customers about your delivery time as this can keep them away.
Availability and Accessibility of Products and Services:
Have you ever traveled a long distance to go get a product or services and/or waited a long time to get that product or services and when it was time to get it, you realized that what you have traveled a long distance or waited a long time is not available? Or have you ever had difficulties in accessing a service when you badly need it? It was such a bad feeling right?
This's the feeling of everyone after traveling some distance and waited some minutes or even hours for your products or services and ended up not getting them.
It's disheartening and some will immediately show their dissatisfaction on their faces. They may go about telling their families and friends about their experience with your business and share this on their media platforms.
In other to avoid things like this, always put mechanisms in place to have available your customers common needs in adequate quantity. Know what they want and make them available for their use.
